A wedding at RAAS Jodhpur typically costs Rs 70 lakh to Rs 2 crore for 100 to 200 guests over two days in 2026. The boutique heritage haveli sits in the old blue city directly below Mehrangarh Fort, and its 39 rooms make it an intimate, design-led alternative to the grand palaces. The fort-lit courtyard is its signature setting, and the small room count makes a full buyout the standard format.
What makes RAAS Jodhpur special for weddings
RAAS Jodhpur is a restored 18th-century haveli in the heart of the old blue city, with the floodlit Mehrangarh Fort rising directly above its courtyard. With only 39 rooms, it is a boutique, design-forward venue rather than a sprawling palace hotel, suited to intimate luxury weddings of 100-200 guests who want the fort backdrop and old-city character without the scale of Umaid Bhawan. A full buyout is the norm given the small key count.
Events you can host at RAAS Jodhpur
- Main courtyard: The signature ceremony and reception setting, framed by Mehrangarh Fort.
- Rooftop terraces: Sundowner cocktails with fort and city views.
- Baradari and lawns: Mehndi and intimate functions.
- Pool deck: Daytime haldi and brunch events.

RAAS Jodhpur wedding cost by guest count (2026)
As a 39-room boutique haveli booked on full buyout, RAAS carries a higher per-guest cost at small counts because you take the whole property regardless. The fort-lit courtyard and old-city logistics, not guest count, are the main cost drivers.
| Guest count | Approx. all-in cost |
|---|---|
| 80-100 guests | Rs 70 lakh-1.1 crore |
| 150 guests | Rs 1.1-1.6 crore |
| 200 guests | Rs 1.5-2 crore |
These are all-in estimates covering venue, accommodation, catering, decor, photography, and planning. Final numbers depend on season, number of events, and customisation. For a precise figure, request a quote.
How your budget splits across the events at RAAS Jodhpur
A typical multi-day wedding here runs four to five functions. The split below shows where the money goes and which setting at RAAS Jodhpur each function usually takes, so you can allocate the budget event by event.
| Function | Usual setting at RAAS Jodhpur | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| Mehndi & Haldi (daytime) | the pool deck | 10-15% |
| Sangeet / cocktail | the rooftop terraces | 15-20% |
| Wedding & pheras | the main courtyard framed by Mehrangarh Fort | 30-35% |
| Reception | the courtyard and Baradari | 30-35% |
The wedding day and reception together absorb roughly two-thirds of the budget because they carry the largest guest counts, the heaviest decor, and the premium catering. Trimming the cocktail or moving the mehndi to a daytime brunch format is the usual lever for couples managing the total.
RAAS Jodhpur wedding cost by season
Season is the second-biggest cost lever after guest count. Booking outside the peak window can move the total by 25-35% for the same wedding.
- Peak (October to March): highest rates and the tightest availability; book 10-18 months ahead.
- Shoulder (September and April): moderate rates with better date choice and still-pleasant weather.
- Off-season (May to August (desert heat)): the lowest rates and widest availability, with weather the main trade-off.
Winter evenings can get genuinely cold in Jodhpur, so heaters and warm-toned lighting are worth budgeting for December-January dates.
How to book RAAS Jodhpur
Booking is direct with RAAS, 6-12 months ahead. The small room count means peak dates book early. See our palace wedding cost guide.
